AFL rosters have been announced (PDF). The Angels will be on the Scottsdale Scorpions this year, and will feature RHPs Ryan Aldridge, Nick Green, and David Herndon; lefty Barret Browning; and position players OF Chris Pettit, 1B Mark Trumbo, and C Tim Duff. Dodger prospects will appear on the Surprise Rafters as follows: LHPs Scott Elbert, Brent Leach, righties Justin Orenduff and Travis Schlichting; catchers Lucas May and Russ Mitchell (the latter appearing on a "taxi squad" to be activated on Wednesdays and Saturdays); infielder Ivan De Jesus, Jr., and outfielders Jaime Hoffmann and Andrew Lambo.

Shortstop Gary Patchett drove in half the Bees' runs with a two-run,
two-out triple in the top of the second; it was zeroes the rest of the
way for both sides, with Bobby Bonilla and Chris Bootcheck doing the
honors for Salt Lake. Former Dirtbag Victor Ramos took the loss for
the Beavers; approaching the end of the season, he's 9-11 with a 5.26
ERA. Former premier setup man Cla Meredith, optioned to AAA back on
August 16 after scuffling with the Padres on an 0-3, 3.99 ERA record,
finished the game for the Beavers with a scoreless ninth.
